Role Overview

As a Key Holder in one of our retail stores, you’ll be on the sales floor delivering great service and driving results, with the added trust of keeping the store running when the Store Manager isn’t on site.

• Drive individual and store sales performance through strong clienteling and product expertise
• Open and close the store according to Company procedures, including managing keys, alarm codes, and building security
• Count cash drawers, reconcile registers, prepare deposits, and complete end-of-day reporting
• Lead shifts without a manager on site by assigning floor zones, breaks, and tasks to the team
• Resolve customer concerns and routine operational issues on shift, and know when to elevate to the Store Manager
• Model sales techniques and product knowledge for newer team members, and support onboarding
• Process sales, returns, exchanges, repairs, and alteration orders accurately at the register
• Track alteration and repair orders from intake through customer pickup
• Partner with our e-commerce customer service team to resolve cross-channel customer issues
• Receive, process, and stock incoming shipments, and support cycle counts and inventory accuracy
• Keep merchandising standards, floor sets, and cleanliness sharp across the sales floor and stockroom
• Communicate shift notes, sales results, and operational issues to the Store Manager at handoff

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ year of retail or sales experience
• Experience with POS systems and cash handling
• Strong customer service and clienteling skills
• Demonstrated reliability, attendance, and punctuality
• Sound judgment and the confidence to serve as point of contact on shift
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Availability to work opening and closing shifts, weekends, and holidays
• Ability to stand and walk for up to 8 hours per shift, use stairs and ladders while carrying product, and safely lift up to 30 lbs

Bonus Points If You...

• Have prior key holder or opening/closing experience
• Have worked with Shopify POS
• Have helped train or onboard new team members
• Know your way around menswear, fit, and fabrics

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Take on real responsibility and build leadership experience in a store that runs on trust
• Represent a brand known for quality, sustainability, and products built for the long haul
• Grow your skills in sales, operations, and team leadership with a clear path forward
• Work alongside a team that values honesty, purpose, and learning from each other
